Bricco

Another 5 star Laguna Niguel culinary experience - my husband and I went here last night as we've recently moved back to our home town and have been trying all the newer restaurants and this was next on our list. As an Italian myself, I have high expectations and Bricco certainly met them! Amazing Happy Hour deals we were able to snag with 10 minutes to spare - the bolognese specifically was incredible. I ordered the Tuscan from the normal pasta menu and wow. Insanely flavorful and rich without being overpowering or sickly. Very clean and calm vibes in there as well, next time I think we'll sit in the little outdoor area because it's so cute! Our server, though I forget her name, was just lovely- very attentive and conversational but let us enjoy our date as well without being overbearing. We took home plenty of leftovers too.Worth every penny and will certainly be returning soon.

My wife and I had a spur of the moment craving for some Italian and on the recommendation of some of the folks on her FB groups we decided to check out Bricco.Our server, Jennifer was wonderful. Attentive and personable. The outside seating was nice with a patio heater setup. I ordered the Blue Collar Chicago Style and my wife ordered the Alfredo and it was delish! We wrapped it up with the Nutella donut balls (lol) and had enough left over for the next three days! Forgot what the name was. Definitely coming back. Especially to check out the pizza and the different style crusts. The 14" seems to be the perfect size too. Excellent!

Despite having eaten next door at the (frequently renamed) Vietnamese establishment currently known as Alo Asian Kitchen a dozen times, I had never actually tried Bricco until the other day. We arrived around 8 PM, and the music inside was absurdly loud (so much so that we opted to sit on the patio). The patio was much quieter, but on this January evening, it was definitely chilly, even with several propane heaters scattered about. I will admit that this was an unusually cold California night, so I imagine it's more comfortable on a typical evening. Still, we ended up fetching light jackets from the car to stay warm.Our server was friendly and attentive, and we ordered the Margherita pizza and the linguine with shrimp. The pizza was a fair size, with high-quality ingredients and an excellent cooking technique. That said, I still find it hard to justify pizzas being nearly $30 these days (it felt a bit pricey). The linguine was excellent. The shrimp were a good size, not the tiny ones you sometimes see, and there were enough of them to feel satisfying, though I wouldn't have minded a slightly larger portion since we were sharing it. To finish, we tried the tiramisu, and it was perfect. Clearly made in-house (we confirmed with our server), it was rich, flavorful, and far superior to the pre-made versions some restaurants pass off as homemade.Overall, while the loud music and chilly patio took away from the ambiance, the quality of the food and service made for a nice dining experience.

Was looking for Italian food and ended up here. Plenty of free parking. Outdoor covered heated patio available. Bar seating options. The place is not huge. The food is excellent. The pasta is perfectly cooked and the pizza is hearty and huge. Service is ok only. They offer happy hour everyday from 4-530p as well which is awesome if you happen to fall into that time frame. Otherwise large pizzas are about $30 and pastas are $18-25.

Bricco's is cozy (yet modern!) and has indoor seating as well as a covered (heated) patio. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays, too!You walk in and feel at home immediately. And trust me when I tell you this is classic Italian comfort food!!! Chicago-Style Thin Crust Pizza here is the real deal. As a Chicago native, it's rare to find a place in California that gets it right but Bricco's thin crust pizza, loaded with sweet onions and sausage, is crisp and so flavorful.Another highlight was the Cacio e Pepe - finding one that's not dry isn't always easy, but Bricco's version is packed with freshly grated parmesan and plenty of cracked black pepper... trust me this pasta is anything but bland!!And one more mention is the spaghetti and meatballs. Bricco serves it up with one massive, melt-in-your-mouth meatball that's the size of your fist... still thinking about this dish!!Lastly, TRY THEIR HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE! They rotate flavors often, and the pumpkin cheesecake was quite honestly out of this world. Check this place out... great food, wine, ambiance, and staff. Shoutout to the owners, Jordan was the best!

We went on a Friday without a reservation and got seated right away. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area had heaters, which was great. There was also a live music band, and they were fantastic--such a fun vibe!The food was AMAZING! We had the Lasagna and Bolognese, and both were so delicious. The pasta is made from scratch, and you can totally taste the difference. For dessert, we got the Cannolis, and wow--they were heavenly!The service was awesome, and there's plenty of parking, which made everything super easy. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

We've driven by Bricco so many times and have always wanted to try this place. The restaurant is owned and operated by a father and son duo and is a nice neighborhood eatery. There are a lot of regular customers that dine here which tells you the food is good. Our first experience here was very enjoyable. Our server Paula was amazing! The restaurant itself is very small but they have a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of heaters. We ordered the bread loaf with herbs which came straight out of the oven and was delicious but the loaf was much smaller than we expected for $6. I only wish the bread and butter was complimentary as many Italian restaurants usually offer. For our starter we ordered the happy hour half size calamari which had a light batter and was fried perfectly. For our entrees we enjoyed the Lasagna and Cacio e Pepe which were both very good. We will definitely return here to see if their food quality and service is consistent with each visit which may bump up my overall rating. Prices are reasonably priced with the exception of the bread and they have good happy hour options. A nice neighborhood eatery.

Our favorite go to pizza placeLast night, I tried their gluten-free pizza , I swear you couldn't even tell that it was gluten-free so good. You can have any toppings you want. I put lots of Parmesan cheese. It was delicious. Live music was amazing last night.

This place is one of our favorite local Italian options! We came across it on DoorDash and have been ordering from them ever since. Everything we've ever ordered from here is delicious, you literally can't go wrong. We love all the pastas, our top two favorites are the Pappardelle + Bolognese and the Alfredo pasta. You can taste the freshness in the noodles. All the pizzas are really good as well, perfect crust. Also, can't forget to try their meatballs and the cannoli's for dessert.

Came here on a Saturday night and it was the perfect spot for date night. Live music & great wine selection. Superb service and the food is amazing. We had the cacio de Pepe & wings with the butter cake that the owner makes himself. Definitely recommend this place
